Yet another reason to continue using public transport and my ebike rather than buy a car. I realize not everyone has the means to do this, but if you do, then it's the better option.

If you don’t like it, no one is forcing you to use those apps and services.
I go out of my way to avoid apps that harvest data, and as a result my life is much more difficult. It's a lot of work to stay on top of it, and there is still a lot of data that gets harvested anyways. It's impossible for the average user to do what you're telling us to do.
‘The researchers found that there was no “sweet spot” where a woman could position herself without being criticized.

They're doing it because they can't stand it when this logic doesn't apply. They hate trans people, intersex people, and women who are stronger than them.
Hey, I tried to get used to gimp as advanced image editor for a long time, but is just nothing I can work with, so I wanted to ask if you know some alternatives (for Windows).
It's a pain to constantly have to reboot to switch between them, you have less disk space, and Windows will sometimes interfere with the Linux installation. Plus there isn't enough things I can't do in Linux, that I can in Windows to justify it.
I would definitely not use any technologies that use internet or can be hacked remotely. But I would accept some that would help my life significantly.
I would really like some kind of augmented reality device that adds an RPG like interface to real life. Especially some kind of quest management system to keep track of tasks and display my current objective to the side. This combined with an xp system could help me gamify tasks at least to tha point of being bearable. Meters for vitals would also come in handy as I often forget to eat and drink, but I don't have this issue when playing survival games for some reason.
Right now the thing with boosts is unintended behavior, the only reason that it's not getting fixed yet is there are a lot more urgent things to be done, like preventing the servers from crashing and burning under the new load.

For me its when someone tells me to bring them something. If i try to find something that i need, i will find it really quickly. If someone is asking me to find something for them in a room, it is like i become blind and even if its in front of me, it is really hard to find it.
I have a lot of problems with poor memory, difficulty initiating tasks, time blindness, and problems with processing auditory information. It's hard to say which one is the most annoying though.
Why am I negative in my reputation? I have not made any posts of comments that are negative (accept for maybe a small one or two but it would have been like 4 to 6 or something). Why am I -46 when I have a highly upvoted thread?
It's not intended behavior, it just isn't getting fixed yet because ernest is still trying to fix the stability issues, which is a much higher priority. In the meantime, consider buying ernest a coffee, he could really use it. The link for that is here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin
I don't care about the morality of their speech as long as it's courteous and friendly
The thing is, I do. If someone advocates for limiting my rights because of something I can't change, I don't care how nice their tone is, they are still a bigot.
There is no such thing as polite bigotry and it isn't as agnostic as you make it out to be. Bigotry at its core is the belief that certain groups of people don't deserve their human rights because of traits that can't be changed. I also never said I advocated for banning all or even most value systems that don't align with mine. I don't care what others do as long as they aren't forcing their beliefs upon others, advocating for the oppression of others, or otherwise cause harm. If you treat bigotry as a valid belief, you let it get a foothold. Once a significant number of bigots get into positions of power, they start to oppress people. Now lets say just for the sake of argument that it can be tolerated to an extent, I still shouldn't have to be exposed to it on a daily basis. I try to understand things from other peoples perspective, but I will not emphasize with those who consider me inferior and undeserving of my human rights.
I never said that only left wing perspectives belong here, I only said bigotry shouldn't be allowed. You can be conservative without being a bigot. And no, I'm not going to hear someone out if they think I shouldn't be allowed to have any rights. I am a human being, and I deserve to be treated like one.
